Pioneers of innovation since their days as Blue Ribbon Sports in the late ‘60s, Nike have persisted to push the boundaries of design in the quest for paramount comfort and performance. Introducing Air technology in the 1978 Air Tailwind, Nike quickly catapulted the quirky concept into a whole new franchise of footwear for the track, field, court and street. In 1987, inspired by the exposed architecture of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Nike designer, Tinker Hatfield, decided to reveal the inner workings of his own brands Air technology. The Air Max 1 was his prized result. Taking further reference from its architectural inspiration, the Air max 1 was initially released in a Sport Red colour to garner maximum attention from any distance. Celebrating 30 years in 2017, Nike revived the cult classic with a remastered version of the Original 1. Selling out in Nano-seconds, the Anniversary ’87 renewed its influence as a cult classic yet again.

Now in its 31st year, the Air Max 1 OG is back again with perfectly matched materials and fabrications along with the remastered shape recalling the golden era of Air Max 1’s. The custom Anniversary packaging includes extra OG laces and a branded hangtag. The Air Max 1 will be available in select sizing at all Hype DC concept stores. Online will have the following sizes available: Men’s US 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 15
